It really was a phenomenal experience. We attend for two days, Thursday and Friday. Those days were filled with thrilling speeches and workshop master classes by leading industry professionals, with vast wealths of knowledge.
But I think my favourite class was called 'Directing Actors'. It was taught by a lady started started off from young as an actress, and then transitioned into directing when she was older. Because of that successful background she was able to give hands on experience on how actors act, what their process and insecurities are, and how to direct them to get the best possible performance out of them.
I also really enjoyed the short film screenings. I did however notice a trend to show male genitalia in the films. I think this is because 'back in the day' woman's bosoms were shown to give films a shock factor. But no they've become commonplace. So penises are used instead.
I also got to attend a cinematography master class held by a highly acclaimed cinematographer. Working on films such as World War Z! It last a couple hours and we got to see him expertly light a set for a demonstration all short film.
